In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the mostcomplicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is east
ly put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppyfood,
bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people q
nation Of d~yspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic, Ask your druggist
for a bottle. Seventy-five cents.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1887-07-09

Thousands of women have contract
ed an alliance with men of intemper-
ate habits, with a vague hope of re-
forming them, and have learned to
their cost the futility of such a hope.
And yet, in spite of the dictates of
common sense as well as of expert
ence, women will go on making the
same sad mistake, so long as the dram
shop exists. For such men there
seemsto be no hope but in absolute
prohibition. Appeals to their man
hood and to their natural affection
are alike in vain even the grace of
God, in most instances, seems INSULT
cient to win the confirmed inebriate
from his cups.-EX.

How to Address Your Enemy.

Punch.
In parliamentary language you may
say that a man is not welded to the
truth;
: Or sometimes suffers from a spirit
of exaggeration;
Or occasionally finds it difficult to
confne himself to actualities
Or is unfettered by the four corners
of hard matter of fact;
Or is a past master in the pleasing
art of realistically romancing
Or is partial, in describing nature,
to borrowing from the pages of ro-
nance;
Or is much given to artificial recol-
lection of misleading statistics;
Or can not distinguish the false
from the true, with a bias toward the
former;
Or has a distinct liking for the ut
terance of statements of a misleading
character;
But you must not! No, you must
not! You really must not! Call him
a liar.

STANDARD -McMINNVTLLE. TENNESSEE-sATURDAY JULY e1s87.

time he added to his scroll saw alight
boring attachment and then a little
turning lathe. Then he bought a
cheap set of carvers' tools. You see
he was always looking out to save
labor and to combine originality in
the articles he turned out. Time ran
along, and almost before he knew it
he was getting more orders than he
could, alone, fill, so he hired a man
to dress and prepare his materials lay
out the patterns, and put the articles
together. Still his orders increased,
and he hired another and still another
man. Today he has thirty men in
his employment, and he does no
physical labor himself. Making
money? Yes, right along, but it was
a very little thing that gave him his
start.
Now, the point 1 wish to make is
this: Capital, in large amounts, is
not necessary in the founding of in
dustrial enterprises. A good deal of
pluck and energy, and uncomfortable
perseverance, are better than money,
because, having these, money be-
comes the result, not the means. of
success. Money is valuable, not as
the means by which an end may be
accomplished, but rather because it is
the result of al accomplished end.
1t has power, immense power, but
without energy behind it, it is power
less. Perseverance and energy can
make money, but money cannot
make perseverance and energy.
What / would like to see in our Sun
ny South is more small industrial es-
adjustments. / would rather see a
dozen shops employing three men
each, than one shop employing three
doz. men. Therei is more money n 1.-THE
dozen shops, because there is greater
possibility for their expansion and
growth. Don't wait for the estab.
li5hment of big enterprises with
heavy capital, but start little ones in
a modest way, and then let them
grow, as the majority of them surely
will.

Why Some Husbands Drink.

1t is very easy to account for the
intemperance of husbands who were
Incorporate as lovers. The expert
ence of the world has long sincemade
it plain that if a woman's influence is
not sufficient to make a sober man of
her prospective husband, all the
hottest influences will be eXerted in
vain after the twain have become one
flesh. This has been the rule, with
here and there a happy exception.

The Editor Was Dying.

Atchison Globe.
The owner of a paper lay dying in
his lair, and the dew of death had
gathered on his brow so calm and fair;
but a printer knelt beside him, as his
life blood ebbed away, and asked the
dying writer if he had a word to say.
The doomed man murmured softly as
he grabbed the printers fist: "Well,
at last the struggles over, and, never
will be missed take a message and a
token to hat city man of mine, that
all his wornout chestnuts he had bet
ter put in brine. There's his joke
about the weather, which he's used
these many years, and the gag about
the fellow who is always hunting
beers. And the item he's so fond of,
on the man who peddles books, and
the chestnut based on people, who go
fishing at the brooks just to save the
papers credit, and to cast no slurs on
mine would ask him a favor, just
to put such gags in brine. And the
lie he's fond of telling, of the street
cars and the tracks, and the ancient
joke about the man who steps upon
some taCkS and the one about some
dandy who will never pay for clothes,
and the one on women-its weary,
heaven knows! Oh, | know I'd
slumber happy in my grave beneath
the vine, if the man who does the
city work will put these jokes in brine.
Tell the man who tends to business
not to weep when | am dead, but to
buy himselfa club and hit the first
man on the head who comes in with
strings of items and requests them
printed free, when the regular rates
are cheaper than they really ought to
be. Tell the foreman when he makes
up not to turn a rule for me, but to
simply print an item saying that my
soul is free; for / want no eulOgistiC

that such hoary chestnutS should be
picked well in brine. Have that gay
and fresh reporter | engaged the 9th,

he should say 'ye local. you must
